title: [Fungal anthraquinones (review)].
abstract: The review is devoted to the characteristics of anthraquinones--a group of pigments of quinoid nature often found in fungi. The distribution of anthraquinones in fungi, the routes of their biosynthesis, and their biological activity are considered.
